The news that Apple is going to switch to Intel processors shook up the computing world. Many users and developers were eager to publish their opinions on the switch. However, one group of people were totally neglected during all this: resellers. Today, we feature an interview with Wim Schermer, first Dutchman to own a Mac (in 1984), and co-founder of one of the biggest Apple retail stores in The Netherlands, MacSupport. We discuss the switch to Intel, and much more.

"Simply because not all "Unix" are the same. Example: install Debian and you have immediately up to 20.000 packages available for free."

Well, install Fink on OS X and you have access to most of those packages anyway.

That said, I think there is certainly a place for GNU/Linux on Mac hardware, but the point Wim was making in the article is that your average user wouldn't have a need for it (and would probably mess up their computers trying to install it), so he doesn't market it at his stores, which is fair enough. If techies have a need for Debian, they can easily download the ISOs anyway.
